PREPARATION

  • Marinate The Chicken: In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Coat the chicken in the marinade, cover it  and let sit for at least 15 minutes to infuse the flavours.
  • Cook The Chicken: Heat a grill or pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the Greek Lemon Chicken hot, garnished with extra lemon slices or fresh herbs if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

PREP TIME

15 minutes (including marination)

COOKING TIME

12-15 minutes

TIPS

  • Marinate Longer For Extra Flavour: For even more tender and flavourful chicken, marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Ensure Even Cooking: Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness before cooking to ensure it cooks uniformly.
  • Lemon Zest Option: Add a pinch of lemon zest to the marinade for a more intense lemon flavour.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Fresh Herbs: Mix in some fresh dill, parsley, or thyme for an extra layer of flavour.
  • Spice It Up: Add a pinch of chilli flakes or paprika to the marinade for a spicy kick.
  • Swap For Fish: Use the same marinade for grilled fish such as cod or tilapia, which is perfect for a lighter meal.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
  • Freezing: Marinate the chicken and freeze it uncooked in a sealed freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before cooking.
